Suggestion: Game Specific Email Settings

Post by maximumbandit »

I would appreciate the option to have receive an email when it becomes my turn in specific games.

For example, if I am in both a real time 1v1 and a Tournament quads game - I would like the option to receive an email only when it becomes my turn in the tournament game, but not the real time game. I realize that it is possible to turn off email's while playing real time, and turn them back on when I am finished - but think it would improve the overall game-play if there was a check box for each individual game someone is in on their "My Games" page. Some games are inherently more important than others, and I would like the option to recieve emails when it is my turn in those games only.

Concise description:
  • While players have 24 hours to take their turns, the majority of turns are taken in less than 24 hours. This suggests that players are taking their turns as soon as they notice it's their turn. If it were more convenient to "notice" ones turn without receiving potentially 50 emails a day, this would improve gameplay speed.
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • Increase Gameplay speed
  • Decrease the frequency of missed turns.

no offense, but I like how a freemium thinks he gets too many emails for CC turns.

Now that I'm posting I should probably comment on the actual suggestion, so:
This sounds sort of like "watch this game", an awesome GM addon, except it's just for your games and you get notifications outside CC. I wonder if an addon has been made for this? Either way, I like it. I wouldn't use it except for maybe clan war games, but I could see where it would be useful. Also, you should have different options for team games, so you have the option of getting an email just when it's your turn, or when it is anyone on your teams turn.
